Asus Crosshair IV Forumula

Corsair HX 850w

G.Skill Ripjaw 4gb DDR3 1600

2 x 1tb WD Caviar Black SATA 6 RAID 0

Graphics Card: Undecided......Leaning towards Asus EAH5870

Noctua NH-D14 CPU cooler

Asus 25.5" LCD @ 1920x1200

Razer Lycosa Keyboard

Logitech G500 mouse

Thanks for looking at my build.
 
i woulde use F3's instead

and if the H70 has a good review then that over the zalman or the megahalms

asus 5870 rev 2 is a very goog card

have a look at the xigmatek utgard,it is very good at air and watercooling.

other than that it looks the shizz

Thanks! I had already bought the WD HDD's when I found out about the F3's, the F3's do look nice. I am planning on water cooling in the future, but it will be a custom loop, so the H70 didn't seem like a good investment.
 
ahh yer i forgot you was watercooling.

that case is not good for watercooling fella,unless you are a very good modder,a dual will fit hanging out the back tho
 
More RAM!

Wouldn't a larger case be better for watercooling? the inside of a 902 seems small (smaller than a 300 because of the plastic top)

Something like a 1200 or a HAF 932 would be better for watercooling?
 
Cool. I have the G.Skill Ripjaw series ram, with lower heatsinks....hopefully should fit. Yeah, if I didn't already have the case, I would have looked seriously at the Xigmatek Utgard case. But I got the Antec at such a good price locally and it was new in the box. Hopefully it should still suffice for a decent first build. I'm sure it won't be my last build.
 
to post pics you need your post count up.

aslong as you put something under the triple rad then its ok,use the swiftech rad mount (i forget what its called)

and the cooler will fit it will look massive lol even bigger than it actualy is.

i cant wait to see what temps you get with the cooler

Yeah, that was the plan. I am going to use the Swiftech Rad box mount to mount the 360 rad off the back of my case.

I can't wait to see my temps from the Noctua either. Should be interesting.
 
Would adding upgraded thermal paste to the north/south bridges on the motherboard, and gpu be worth it? or would it void my warranty?
